    Best M35 year and model ?

    I've been asking $17k. I've had a couple offers at $12.5 that I declined. I realize you have a non-trivial transport involved. I'll wiggle some because of that....Let's make a deal.

    M936A2 service brakes

    Vent/ breather plug is the valve I had in mind.

    M936A2 service brakes

    There should be a valve on it. If this valve becomes jammed/clogged, then pressure won't be released when you let off the brakes and the service brakes begin to drag.

    Beware of Govplanet!

    That directly conflicts with my first hand experience. My experience is "collapse a sale" = refund and relist, as if it never happened. "Declare abandoned" = they keep the money and relist the item.

    Soldiers and Marines paying to pimp their HMMWVs

    M36A2 Deuce, any hints before I purchase it?

    Winch is a plus. Hard top is a plus. Tires look ok. Rattlecan paint job looks decently done and makes touch up a breeze. The LED headlights don't excite me. I see $8k, barring any unseen badness. Check brakes. Mushy or leaking brakes will need immediate attention.

    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    There's no harm in trying. Put them on a charger one at a time and see what happens. If the charger can't "see" them, jumper one to one good battery and connect the good battery to the charger and try again. Repeat as necessary and you may resurrect a $500 battery. I have 2011 date code...

    The hawker batteries are the first choice if money is no object or if you need that kind of performance. But any two batteries are adequate to run a hmmwv unless you have a bunch of radio equipment.

    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    Anything not pictured is presumed absent. Inferences are frequently in error. If the truck started and ran, and no batteries were pictured, then what I'd expect to find would be 6TLs on their last leg and in need of immediate replacement. Another example of invalid inference- the truck was...

    Just won an auction for my first HMMWV, the wait begins

    I sincerely doubt it's worth their trouble to put in a couple car batteries in the hopes of making a few bucks selling used Hawkers on the extremely limited secondary market. Who is the potential buyer? Also, I have purchased multiple trucks with the Hawkers still present. A far more...

    2 car batteries still put the gauge in the middle of the green. Presumably they're replacing deceased batteries with the cheapest thing they can get.

    Opinions on a potential M35A2 purchase

    I like the truck tractors with shortened cargo beds. I've done several that way. Bedlining anywhere but the bed makes me think it's hiding rust. Or will rust underneath it. Something else to consider in TX is that the 5ton triggers special licensing (noncommercial class B or A) whereas a...
